Seismic performance and new design procedure for chevron-braced frames.

The paper is concerned with the seismic design of steel-braced frames in which the braces are configured in a chevron pattern. According to EuroCode 8 (EC8), the behaviour factor q, which allows for the trade-off between the strength and ductility, is set at 2.5 for chevron-braced frames, while 6.5...
